CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application is a Continuation of U.S. application Ser. No.15/693,881 filed on Sep. 1, 2017 that claims the benefit of JapanesePatent Application No. 2016-172048, filed Sep. 2, 2016, which are herebyincorporated by reference in their entirety.

BACKGROUND Technical Field

The present disclosure relates to a motor.

Background

For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2015-220969discloses a motor actuator (rotary apparatus) configured to drive aplurality of doors (louvers) provided in an air passage for flowing airof a vehicle air conditioning system.

The rotary apparatus outputs rotation of a rotary shaft of a motor via aplurality of gears to control pivoting of the louvers.

On the other hand, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2008-22619discloses a brushed motor having a brush provided with a damper memberin order to reduce mechanical noise of the motor.

Recent years have seen a tendency toward increased quietness in anintra-vehicle environment. For example, a motor-driven vehicle such asan electric car emits no noise from the internal-combustion engine andthus the inside of the vehicle is remarkably quiet.

Such a high degree of quietness emphasizes noise which otherwise wouldnot be noticeable inside a car equipped with an internal combustionengine, and thus a higher degree of low noise than ever before isconsidered to be required even in various parts of the car.

One source of noise of a rotary apparatus is the motor, and furtherimprovement in quietness can be achieved by using a motor with noisereduced as compared to the motor of the related art.

A bearing part 40 ba is provided at the center of the bearing plate 40b. The bearing part 40 ba projects to a side opposite to the bracketmain body 40 a.

The bearing 41 is housed in the bearing part 40 ba, and the bearingplate 40 b is attached to and integrated with the bracket main body 40a. In this manner, the bracket 40 includes the bearing 41.

The bracket 40 includes a pair of conductive brushes (a conductive brush42 and a conductive brush 43) and a pair of terminal parts (a terminalpart 44 and a terminal part 45). The pair of conductive brushes (theconductive brush 42 and the conductive brush 43) are respectivelyattached to the pair of terminal parts (a terminal part 44 and aterminal part 45).

The terminal part 44 and the terminal part 45 have substantially thesame configuration except that shapes of the terminal part 44 and theterminal part 45 are symmetrical with each other.

The terminal part 45 also includes a terminal 45 a led out to theoutside and a first end part 45 b connected to the terminal 45 a. A partof the first end part 45 b on the one end part 45 ba side is bent.

The terminal 45 a is a part serving as an external electricalconnection.

FIG. 5 is a perspective view of the bracket 40.

As shown in FIG. 4 , the bracket main body 40 a is provided with agroove part 46. The terminal 44 a of the terminal part 44 is insertedinto the groove part 46. The bottom part of the groove part 46 includesa hole part for passing the terminal 44 a through.

The bottom part of the groove part 46 opposes the bearing plate 40 b.

The bearing plate 40 b is provided with an opening part 48 correspondingto the terminal 44 a of the terminal part 44.

The opening part 48 is disposed at a position opposing the terminal 44a.

Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 5 , when the terminal 44 a of the terminalpart 44 is inserted into the groove part 46 of the bracket main body 40a with the conductive brush 42 being fixed to the terminal part 44, theterminal 44 a can be passed through the hole part in the bottom part ofthe groove part 46 to the outside.

Similarly, as shown in FIG. 4 , a groove part 47 is provided in thebracket main body 40 a. The terminal 45 a of the terminal part 45 isinserted into the groove part 47. The bottom part of the groove part 47Ais provided with a hole part for passing the terminal 45 a through.

The bearing plate 40 b is provided with an opening part 49 correspondingto the terminal 45 a of the terminal part 45.

The opening part 49 is disposed at a position opposite the terminal 45a.

Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 5 , when the terminal 45 a of the terminalpart 45 is inserted into the groove part 47 of the bracket main body 40a with the conductive brush 43 being fixed to the terminal part 45, theterminal 45 a can be passed through the hole part in the bottom part ofthe groove part 47 to the outside.

Note that the commutator 33 of the armature 30 is located at a positionnear the bearing 41 shown in FIG. 5 .

Therefore, as it is seen from FIGS. 4 and 5 , in a radial direction, anend part of the conductive brush 42 at a side opposite to the commutator33 side is fixed to one end side of the first end part 44 b of theterminal part 44.

More specifically, the end part of the conductive brush 42 is fixed tothe one end part 44 ba of the first end part 44 b. The one end part 44ba is a part at the one end side of the first end part 44 b.

Similarly, as to the conductive brush 43, an end part of the conductivebrush 43 at a side opposite to the commutator 33 side is fixed to theone end part 45 ba of the first end part 45 b of the terminal part 45.The one end part 45 ba is a part at the one end side of the first endpart 45 b.

The operation of the motor 10 having the configuration described abovewill be described below, and a more detailed configuration of the motor10 will also be described below.

When electric power is supplied through the terminal part 44 and theterminal part 45, an electric current is supplied to the coils via thesheet metals 33 a of the commutator 33 in contact with the conductivebrush 42 and the conductive brush 43.

Then, the poles 32 a (see FIG. 3 ) are magnetized to an N pole or an Spole depending on a winding direction of the excited coils. Attractionoccurs between the poles 32 a and a magnetic force of the magnetsprovided in the frame 20, and the armature 30 rotates.

The commutator 33 also rotates along with the rotation of the armature30. The conductive brush 42 and the conductive brush 43 come intocontact with other sheet metals 33 a different from the sheet metals 33a of the above commutator 33 which were previously in contact with theconductive brush 42 and the conductive brush 43.

Consequently, an electric current is supplied to the coils connected tothe sheet metals 33 a of the commutator 33 which have newly come incontact with the conductive brush 42 and the conductive brush 43. Thecoils supplied with the electric current are excited, and the poles 32 acorresponding to the excited coils are magnetized to the N pole or the Spole depending on the winding direction of the coils.

Then, attraction occurs again between the poles 32 a and the magneticforce of the magnets provided in the frame 20, and the armature 30rotates.

By repeating the above, the rotary shaft 31 of the motor 10 continues torotate.

When the conductive brush 42 and the conductive brush 43 come intocontact with the different sheet metals 33 a from the sheet metals 33 aof the commutator 33 which were previously in contact with theconductive brush 42 and the conductive brush 43, vibration occurs in theconductive brush 42 and the conductive brush 43, and the vibrationcauses noise.

The inventors have carried out detailed studies of the state ofvibration of the conductive brush 42 and the conductive brush 43 andfound that, in the conductive brush 42, acceleration due to vibrationwas the greatest at a position substantially at the center of a portionin a free state between the terminal section 44 and at a position wherethe conductive brush 42 was in contact with the commutator 33.

Similarly, the inventor found that, in the conductive brush 43,acceleration due to vibration was the greatest at a positionsubstantially at the center of a part in a free state between theterminal part 45 and a position where the conductive brush 43 was incontact with the commutator 33.

Based on such knowledge, in the present embodiment, a first deformablepart 72 and a second deformable part 70 are provided to suppressvibration of the conductive brush 42 and a first deformable part 73 anda second deformable part 71 are provided to suppress vibration of theconductive brush 43. Components related to the deformable parts will bedescribed in detail below.

(Second Deformable Part 70)

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 , the bracket 40 includes a second wall part60.

The second wall part 60 is provided at the bracket main body 40 a.

The second wall part 60 has a second surface 60 a extending along asecond surface 42 a of the conductive brush 42 and toward the commutator33 side (the center side of the bracket 40). The second surface 42 a ofthe conductive brush 42 is a surface in contact with the commutator 33.

Note that, in the present embodiment, the second surface 60 a of thesecond wall part 60 is provided as a surface parallel to the secondsurface 42 a of the conductive brush 42 in a state where the conductivebrush 42 is not in contact with the commutator 33.

However, the second surface 60 a of the second wall part 60 is notlimited to a surface parallel to the second surface 42 a of theconductive brush 42.

That is, the second surface 60 a of the second wall part 60 may extendalong the second surface 42 a of the conductive brush 42 in contact withthe commutator 33 and toward the commutator 33 side (the center side ofthe bracket 40) such that the second surface 60 a of the second wallpart 60 is inclined with respect to the second surface 42 a of theconductive brush 42.

As shown in FIG. 5 , the motor 10 includes, between the second surface42 a of the conductive brush 42 and the second surface 60 a of thesecond wall part 60, the second deformable part 70 provided to be alwaysin contact with (always adhere to) both of the surfaces (the secondsurface 42 a and the second surface 60 a).

Note that “always in contact (always adhere)” as used herein does notmean that a contact (adhering) state is kept until the motor 10 becomesunusable.

That is, as the motor 10 continues to be used for a long period, peelingmay occur between the second deformable part 70 and the second surface42 a and peeling may occur between the second deformable part 70 and thesecond surface 60 a.

Therefore, it is to be noted that “always in contact (always adhere)”should be understood to mean that the second deformable part 70 isalways in contact with (always adheres to) both of the surfaces as longas an unusual situation such as peeling does not occur, and should notbe understood to mean that the second deformable part 70 permanentlycontinues to be in contact with (adhere to) both of the surfaces.

In the present embodiment, the second deformable part 70 is formed witha gel. From the viewpoint of suppressing vibration, a gel having ahardness of greater than or equal to 30 and less than or equal to 70 ina type 00 hardness compliant with ASTM D 2240 can be suitably used.

Note that a type of the gel may be a two-part hardening type, anultraviolet curing type, a thermosetting type, and the like and is notparticularly limited.

The second deformable part 70 may be formed of grease instead of a gel.In this case, from the viewpoint of suppressing vibration, it issuitable to use grease having consistency of greater than or equal to 60and less than or equal to 165 in grade 5 or a higher grade.

The second deformable part 70 will be described in detail with referenceto FIGS. 6A and 6B.

FIGS. 6A and 6B are diagrams for explaining a state of the seconddeformable part 70 while the motor 10 is being driven. FIG. 6A is a planview of the bracket 40 viewed from the frame 20 side. FIG. 6B is anenlarged view of a dotted line region A1 of FIG. 6A.

Note that, in FIG. 6A, the sheet metals 33 a of the commutator 33provided in the armature 30 are also shown.

As shown in FIG. 6A, the conductive brush 42 is in a free state. In thefree state, the conductive brush 42 is not supported between a root (seeposition F1) not supported by the terminal part 44 and a part (seeposition F11) of the conductive brush 42 in contact with the commutator33.

The second deformable part 70 is provided at a center part at leastincluding the center (see position M1) of the conductive brush 42between the root of the conductive brush 42 and the part of theconductive brush 42 in contact with the commutator 33 (between positionF1 and position F11).

Here, the length between the root of the conductive brush 42 and thepart of the conductive brush 42 in contact with the commutator 33(between position F1 and position F11) is represented as L. Then, thesecond deformable part 70 is in contact with at least a range of greaterthan or equal to L/4 of the second surface 42 a of the conductive brush42 including the position of the center (the position M1) between theroot of the conductive brush 42 and the part of the conductive brush 42in contact with the commutator 33. The second deformable part 70 is moredesirably in contact with at least a range of greater than or equal toL/3 of the second surface 42 a.

Note that it goes without saying that, a range in which the seconddeformable part 70 may be brought close to a contact position of theconductive brush 42 and the commutator 33, that is, a range in which thesecond deformable part 70 is provided toward the commutator 33 side is arange in which the second deformable part 70 does not prevent theconductive brush 42 from coming into contact with the commutator 33.

In this manner, it is possible to effectively suppress vibration by atleast providing the second deformable part 70 in the range including theposition M1 where acceleration due to vibration is the greatest.Hereinafter, a state where the second deformable part 70 suppressesvibration will be specifically described.

When the motor 10 is driven and the conductive brush 42 vibrates, forexample, as shown in FIG. 6B, the second surface 42 a of the conductivebrush 42 is displaced from a position indicated by a solid line to aposition indicated by a dotted line as indicated by an arrow m1.

At this point, the second deformable part 70 is deformed in response tomovement of the conductive brush 42.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6B, the shape of the second deformablepart 70 changes from a state indicated by a hatched area to a stateindicated by a cross-hatched area.

The change in shape is a phenomenon caused by the second deformable part70 being in contact with and sandwiched by both the second surface 42 aof the conductive brush 42 and the second surface 60 a of the secondwall part 60.

That is, even if the second deformable part 70 is in contact with thesecond surface 42 a of the conductive brush 42, if the second surface 60a side of the second wall part 60 is free, a compression force is notapplied to the second deformable part 70. Therefore, the change in shapeof the second deformable part 70 is extremely small.

As the second deformable part 70 is compressed and the shape of thesecond deformable part 70 changes, a reaction force acts on theconductive brush 42 to stop the movement of the conductive brush 42. Thereaction force tends to stop the movement of the conductive brush 42.Therefore, the movement of the conductive brush 42 is suppressed.

On the other hand, when the conductive brush 42 moves oppositely, thatis, when the second surface 42 a of the conductive brush 42 tends tomove in a direction opposite to the direction of the arrow m1 from theposition of the dotted line to the position indicated by the solid lineshown in FIG. 6B, the shape of the second deformable part 70 changes.

Specifically, the shape of the second deformable part 70 deforms in adirection in which the second surface 60 a of the second wall part 60extends or a direction in which the second surface 42 a of theconductive brush 42 extends, and toward the root F1 of the conductivebrush 42.

That is, a part of the second deformable part 70 returns to a spaceformed between the second surface 42 a of the conductive brush 42 andthe second surface 60 a of the second wall part 60 where the seconddeformable part 70 is present.

Since the second deformable part 70 is not an elastic body such as aspring, the second deformable part 70 does not immediately return to anoriginal shape with an elastic force of the second deformable part 70.The change in shape of the second deformable part 70 at the time whenthe conductive brush 42 tends to move to the position indicated by thesolid line is mainly caused by a force generated by a bend of theconductive brush 42 (a restoring force).

The second deformable part 70 is pulled by the movement of theconductive brush 42 in the direction opposite to the arrow m1.

Due to the pulling, the shape of the second deformable part 70 changes.The change in shape of the second deformable part 70 causes a reactionforce acting on the conductive brush 42. The reaction force tends tostop the movement of the conductive brush 42 in a direction away fromthe second surface 60 a side of the second wall part 60.

Along with the change in shape of the second deformable part 70, actionfor absorbing (reducing) a moving force of the conductive brush 42 issimultaneously generated.

Note that the reaction force, in other words, stopping action, is also aphenomenon caused by the second deformable part 70 in contact with boththe second surface 42 a of the conductive brush 42 and the secondsurface 60 a of the second wall part 60. If the second deformable part70 is not in contact with the second surface 60 a of the second wallpart 60, the second deformable part 70 moves together with theconductive brush 42 in the same manner.

In this manner, the second deformable part 70 acts to suppress themovement of the conductive brush 42 when the conductive brush 42 tendsto move from the position of the solid line to the position of thedotted line shown in FIG. 6B and also when the conductive brush 42 tendsto move in a reverse manner from the position of the dotted line to theposition of the solid line.

“The conductive brush 42 vibrates” means that the conductive brush 42repeatedly moves between the position of the solid line and the positionof the dotted line shown in FIG. 6B. As described above, the seconddeformable part 70 acts to suppress the movement both when theconductive brush 42 moves toward the position of the solid line andtoward the position of the dotted line, and suppresses the vibration ofthe conductive brush 42.

Here, a volume of the second deformable part 70 before the change inshape of the second deformable part 70 is represented as T, a volume ofa part of the second deformable part 70 changed in shape by compressionor pulling is represented as Δt, and a shape change ratio VC isrepresented as ΔT/T. The greater the shape change ratio VC, the greaterthe extent to which the vibration due to the change in shape can besuppressed.

Therefore, in order to increase the shape change ratio VC, it isdesirable to reduce the volume of the second deformable part 70determined at a state before driving the motor 10.

As is seen from FIG. 6B, the second deformable part 70 is provided to bein contact with both the second surface 42 a of the conductive brush 42and the second surface 60 a of the second wall part 60. Therefore, thevolume of the second deformable part 70 is adjusted by the distancebetween the second surface 42 a of the conductive brush 42 and thesecond surface 60 a of the second wall part 60.

Specifically, the length and the like of the conductive brush 42employed varies depending on the size of the motor 10. Accordingly, thedistance between the second surface 42 a of the conductive brush 42 andthe second surface 60 a of the second wall part 60 to provide the seconddeformable part 70 with an appropriate volume is preferably determinedbased on the length of the conductive brush 42.

Here, the length from the root (see the position F1 shown in FIGS. 6Aand 6B) of the conductive brush 42 on the terminal part 44 side to theposition F11 (see FIG. 6A) where the conductive brush 42 is in contactwith the commutator 33 is 1.0. Then, at least in a range where thesecond deformable part 70 is provided, a distance (hereinafter alsoreferred to as first distance) between the second surface 42 a of theconductive brush 42 and the second surface 60 a of the second wall part60 is preferably set to be less than or equal to 0.5 and more preferablyset to less than or equal to 0.3.

The second wall part 60 is provided in the bracket main body 40 a suchthat the first distance between the second surface 42 a of theconductive brush 42 and the second surface 60 a of the second wall part60 is a predetermined distance.

The first distance is obtained as follows. With the conductive brush 42not in contact with the commutator 33 and the conductive brush 42extending substantially straight, perpendiculars are drawn from pointson the second surface 60 a of the second wall part 60 to the conductivebrush 42. Then, distances between the second surface 42 a of theconductive brush 42 and the second surface 60 a of the second wall part60 are calculated. The first distance is the longest distance among thecalculated distances.

On the other hand, if the first distance is too short, the seconddeformable part 70 sometimes cannot be sufficiently deformed. Therefore,the first distance is desirably set to greater than or equal to 0.1 andmore desirably set to greater than or equal to 0.2.

Note that, in the present embodiment, the second deformable part 70 isprovided further on the commutator 33 side than the root (see positionF1) of the conductive brush 42. However, the second deformable part 70may be provided further to the one end part 44 ba side of the first endpart 44 b of the terminal part 44 than the root (see position F1) of theconductive brush 42.

Further, for example, taking into account a space where the seconddeformable part 70 is provided, the second deformable part 70 may beprovided within a range of L/3 or within a range of L/4 includingposition M1.

(Second Deformable Part 71)

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 , the bracket 40 includes a second wall part61 provided at the bracket main body 40 a. The second wall part 61includes a second surface 61 a extending along the second surface 43 aof the conductive brush 43 and toward the commutator 33 side (the centerside of the bracket 40). The second surface 43 a of the conductive brush43 is a surface in contact with the commutator 33.

Note that the second surface 61 a of the second wall part 61 is providedas a surface parallel to the second surface 43 a of the conductive brush43 in a state where the conductive brush 43 is not in contact with thecommutator 33.

However, the second surface 61 a of the second wall part 61 is notlimited to a surface parallel to the second surface 43 a of theconductive brush 43.

That is, the second surface 61 a of the second wall part 61 may extendalong the second surface 43 a of the conductive brush 43 in contact withthe commutator 33 and toward the commutator 33 side (the center side ofthe bracket 40) such that the second surface 61 a of the second wallpart 61 is inclined with respect to the second surface 43 a of theconductive brush 43.

As shown in FIG. 5 , the motor 10 includes, between the second surface43 a of the conductive brush 43 and the second surface 61 a of thesecond wall part 61, the second deformable part 71 provided to be alwaysin contact with (always adhere to) both of the surfaces (the secondsurface 43 a and the second surface 61 a).

Note that, as described above for the second deformable part 70, “alwaysin contact (always adhere)” as used herein does not mean that a contact(adhering) state is kept until the motor 10 becomes unusable. “Always incontact (always adhere)” means that the second deformable part 71 isalways in contact with (always adhere to) both of the surfaces as longas an unusual situation does not occur during continuous use of themotor 10. Such an unusual situation may be occurrence of peeling betweenthe second deformable part 71 and the second surface 43 a or occurrenceof peeling between the second deformable part 71 and the second surface61 a. “Always in contact (always adhere)” should not be understood tomean that the second deformable part 71 permanently continues to be incontact with (adhere to) both of the surfaces.

Like the second deformable part 70, the second deformable part 71 isformed of a gel. From the viewpoint of suppressing vibration, a gelhaving a hardness of greater than or equal to 30 and less than or equalto 70 in a type 00 hardness compliant with ASTM D 2240 is preferablyused.

Note that, in the second deformable part 71, as in the second deformablepart 70, a type of the gel may be a two-part hardening type, anultraviolet curing type, a thermosetting type, and the like and is notparticularly limited.

Like the second deformable part 70, the second deformable part 71 may beformed of grease instead of a gel. In this case, from the viewpoint ofsuppressing vibration, it is suitable to use grease having consistencyof greater than or equal to 60 and less than or equal to 165 in grade 5or a higher grade.

The second deformable part 71 is a part for achieving, on the conductivebrush 43, the same action as the action of the second deformable part 70on the conductive brush 42. Therefore, the state of the seconddeformable part 71 at the time when the motor 10 is driven is the sameas the state described concerning the second deformable part 70.

Therefore, although a detailed explanation is omitted, the seconddeformable part 71 is also provided as shown in FIG. 6A. The seconddeformable part 71 is also provided at least at a center part includingthe center (see position M2) of the conductive brush 43 between a rootof the conductive brush 43 and a part of the conductive brush 43 incontact with the commutator 33 (between position F2 and position F21).

Here, the length between the root of the conductive brush 43 and theportion of the conductive brush 43 in contact with the commutator 33(between position F2 and position F21) is represented as L. Then, thesecond deformable part 71 is in contact with at least a range of greaterthan or equal to L/4 of the second surface 43 a of the conductive brush43 including the position of the center (position M2) between the rootof the conductive brush 43 and the part of the conductive brush 43 incontact with the commutator 33. The second deformable part 71 is moredesirably in contact with at least a range of greater than or equal toL/3 of the second surface 43 a.

Note that it goes without saying that, a range in which the seconddeformable part 71 is provided toward the commutator 33 side is a rangein which the second deformable part 71 does not prevent the conductivebrush 43 from coming into contact with the commutator 33.

In this manner, it is possible to effectively suppress vibration of theconductive brush 43 by at least providing, like the second deformablepart 70, the second deformable part 71 in the range including positionM2 where acceleration due to vibration is the greatest.

The distance between the second surface 43 a of the conductive brush 43and the second surface 61 a of the second wall part 61 is preferablydetermined as in the second deformable part 70.

Here, the length from the root (see position F2 shown in FIG. 6A wherethe conductive brush 43 is not supported by the terminal part 45) of theconductive brush 43 on the terminal part 45 side to position F21 (seeFIG. 6A) where the conductive brush 43 is in contact with the commutator33 is 1.0. Then, at least in a range where the second deformable part 71is provided, a distance (hereinafter also referred to as first distance)between the second surface 43 a of the conductive brush 43 and thesecond surface 61 a of the second wall part 61 is preferably set to beless than or equal to 0.5 and more preferably set to less than or equalto 0.3.

The second wall part 61 is provided in the bracket main body 40 a suchthat the first distance between the second surface 43 a of theconductive brush 43 and the second surface 61 a of the second wall part61 is a predetermined distance.

This first distance is obtained as follows, which is similar to how thefirst distance is obtained as described above for the second deformablepart 70. With the conductive brush 43 not in contact with the commutator33 and the conductive brush 43 extending substantially straight,perpendiculars are drawn from points on the second surface 61 a of thesecond wall part 61 to the conductive brush. Then, distances between thesecond surface 43 a of the conductive brush 43 and the second surface 61a of the second wall part 61 are calculated. The first distance is thelongest distance among the calculated distances.

On the other hand, if the first distance is short, the second deformablepart 71 sometimes cannot be sufficiently deformed. Therefore, the firstdistance is desirably set to greater than or equal to 0.1 and moredesirably set to greater than or equal to 0.2.

Note that, in the present embodiment, the second deformable part 71 isprovided further on the commutator 33 side than the root (see positionF2) of the conductive brush 43. However, the second deformable part 71may be provided further to the one end part 45 ba side of the first endpart 45 b of the terminal part 45 than the root (see position F2) of theconductive brush 43.

Further, taking into account, for example, a relation of a space wherethe second deformable part 71 is provided, the second deformable part 71may be provided within a range of L/3 or a range of L/4 includingposition M2.

(First Deformable Part 72)

As shown in FIG. 5 , the bracket 40 includes a first wall part 62provided at the bracket main body 40 a. The first wall part 62 has afirst surface 62 a extending along a first surface 42 b located at aside opposite the second surface 42 a of the conductive brush 42 andtoward the commutator 33 side (the center side of the bracket 40).

Note that the first surface 62 a of the first wall part 62 is formed tobe a surface parallel to the first surface 42 b of the conductive brush42 in a state in which the conductive brush 42 is not in contact withthe commutator 33.

However, the first surface 62 a of the first wall part 62 is not limitedto a surface parallel to the first surface 42 b of the conductive brush42.

That is, the first surface 62 a of the first wall part 62 may extendalong the first surface 42 b located at a side opposite the secondsurface 42 a of the conductive brush 42 and toward the commutator 33side (the center side of the bracket 40) such that the first surface 62a of the first wall part 62 is inclined with respect to the firstsurface 42 b of the conductive brush 42.

As shown in FIG. 5 , the motor 10 includes, between the first surface 42b of the conductive brush 42 and the first surface 62 a of the firstwall part 62, the first deformable part 72 provided to be always incontact with (always adhere to) both of the surfaces (the first surface42 b and the first surface 62 a).

Note that, as has been described for the second deformable part 70,“always in contact (always adhere)” herein does not mean that a contact(adhering) state is kept until the motor 10 becomes unusable. “Always incontact (always adhere)” means that the first deformable part 72 isalways in contact with (always adhered to) both of the surfaces as longas an unusual situation does not occur during continuous use of themotor 10. Such an unusual situation may be occurrence of peeling betweenthe first deformable part 72 and the first surface 42 b or occurrence ofpeeling between the first deformable part 72 and the first surface 62 a.It should not be understood to mean that the first deformable part 72permanently continues to be in contact with (adhere to) both of thesurfaces.

In the present embodiment, the first deformable part 72 is formed of agel. From the viewpoint of suppressing vibration, a gel having ahardness of greater than or equal to 30 and less than or equal to 70 ina type 00 hardness compliant with ASTM D 2240 can be suitably used.

Note that a type of the gel may be a two-part hardening type, anultraviolet curing type, a thermosetting type, and the like and is notparticularly limited.

The first deformable part 72 may be formed of grease instead of a gel.In this case, from the viewpoint of suppressing vibration, it issuitable to use grease having consistency of greater than or equal to 60and less than or equal to 165 in grade 5 or a higher grade.

The first deformable part 72 will be described in detail with referenceto FIGS. 7A and 7B.

FIGS. 7A and 7B are diagrams for explaining a state of the firstdeformable part 72 while the motor 10 is being driven. FIG. 7A is a planview of the bracket 40 viewed from the frame 20 side. FIG. 7B is anenlarged view of a dotted line region A2 of FIG. 7A.

Note that, in FIG. 7A, the sheet metals 33 a of the commutator 33provided in the armature 30 are also shown.

In FIG. 7A, as in FIG. 6A, the root of the conductive brush 42 where theconductive brush 42 is not supported by the terminal part 44 is shown asposition F1. The part of the conductive brush 42 in contact with thecommutator 33 is shown as position F11.

Like the second deformable part 70, the first deformable part 72 isprovided at the center part at least in including the center (seeposition M1) of the conductive brush 42 between the root of theconductive brush 42 and the part of the conductive brush 42 in contactwith the commutator 33 (between position F1 and position F11).

Here, the length between the root of the conductive brush 42 and thepart of the conductive brush 42 in contact with the commutator 33(between position F1 and position F11) is represented as L. Then, likethe second deformable part 70, the first deformable part 72 is incontact with at least a range of greater than or equal to L/4 of thefirst surface 42 b of the conductive brush 42 including the position ofthe center (position M1) between the root of the conductive brush 42 andthe part of the conductive brush 42 in contact with the commutator 33.The first deformable part 72 is more desirably in contact with at leasta range of greater than or equal to L/3 of the first surface 42 b.

In this manner, it is possible to effectively suppress vibration by atleast providing the first deformable part 72 in the range includingposition M1 where acceleration due to vibration is the greatest.Hereinafter, a state where the first deformable part 72 suppressesvibration is specifically described below with reference to FIGS. 7A and7B.

When the motor 10 is driven and the conductive brush 42 vibrates, forexample, as shown in FIG. 7B, the first surface 42 b of the conductivebrush 42 is displaced from a position indicated by a solid line to aposition indicated by a dotted line as indicated by an arrow m3.

At this point, the first deformable part 72 is deformed in response tothe movement of the conductive brush 42.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 7B, the shape of the first deformablepart 72 changes from a state of hatching to a state of cross-hatchingaccording to the movement of the conductive brush 42 indicated by thearrow m3.

Specifically, the shape of the first deformable part 72 is deformed in adirection in which the first surface 62 a of the first wall part 62extends or a direction in which the first surface 42 b of the conductivebrush 42 extends and toward the commutator 33.

That is, a part of the first deformable part 72 escapes (projects) to aspace formed between the first surface 42 b of the conductive brush 42and the first surface 62 a of the first wall part 62 where the firstdeformable part 72 does not exist.

The change in shape is a phenomenon caused by the first deformable part72 being in contact with and sandwiched by both the first surface 42 bof the conductive brush 42 and the first surface 62 a of the first wallpart 62.

That is, even if the first deformable part 72 is in contact with thefirst surface 42 b of the conductive brush 42, if the first surface 62 aside of the first wall part 62 is free, a compression force is notapplied to the first deformable part 72. Therefore, the change in shapeof the first deformable part 72 is extremely small.

As the first deformable part 72 is compressed and the shape of the firstdeformable part 72 changes, a reaction force acts on the conductivebrush 42 to stop the movement of the conductive brush 42. Therefore, themovement of the conductive brush 42 is suppressed.

On the other hand, when the conductive brush 42 moves oppositely, thatis, when the first surface 42 b of the conductive brush 42 tends to movein a direction opposite to the direction of the arrow m3 from theposition of the dotted line to the position indicated by the solid lineshown in FIG. 7B, the shape of the first deformable part 72 changes.

Specifically, the shape of the first deformable part 72 deforms in adirection in which the first surface 62 a of the first wall part 62extends or a direction in which the first surface 42 b of the conductivebrush 42 extends, and toward the root F1 of the conductive brush 42.

That is, a part of the first deformable part 72 returns to a spaceformed between the first surface 42 b of the conductive brush 42 and thefirst surface 62 a of the first wall part 62 where the first deformablepart 72 is present.

Since the first deformable part 72 is not an elastic body such as aspring, the first deformable part 72 does not immediately return to anoriginal volume with an elastic force of the first deformable part 72.The change of the shape of the first deformable part 72 at the time whenthe conductive brush 42 is about to move to the position indicated bythe solid line is mainly caused by a force generated by a bend of theconductive brush 42 (a restoring force).

As the first deformable part 72 is pulled by the movement of theconductive brush 42 in a direction opposite to the arrow m3 and theshape of the first deformable part 72 changes, a reaction force acts onthe conductive brush 42. The reaction force tends to stop the movementof the conductive brush 42 in a direction away from the first surface 62a side of the first wall part 62.

Along with the change in shape, action for absorbing (reducing) a movingforce of the conductive brush 42 is simultaneously generated.

Note that the stopping action is also a phenomenon caused by the firstdeformable part 72 in contact with both the first surface 42 b of theconductive brush 42 and the first surface 62 a of the first wall part62. If the first deformable part 72 is not in contact with the firstsurface 62 a of the first wall part 62, the first deformable part 72moves together with the conductive brush 42 in the same manner.

In this manner, the first deformable part 72 acts to suppress themovement of the conductive brush 42 when the conductive brush 42 tendsto move from the position of the solid line to the position of thedotted line shown in FIG. 7B and also when the conductive brush 42 tendsto move reversely from the position of the dotted line to the positionof the solid line.

“The conductive brush 42 vibrates” means that the conductive brush 42repeatedly moves between the position of the solid line and the positionof the dotted line shown in FIG. 7B. However, as described above, thefirst deformable part 72 acts to suppress the movement and suppressesthe vibration of the conductive brush 42 both when the conductive brush42 moves toward the position of the solid line and toward the positionof the dotted line.

Incidentally, as shown in FIG. 7B, when the first surface 42 b of theconductive brush 42 moves from the position indicated by the solid lineto the position indicated by the dotted line as indicated by the arrowm3, naturally, the second surface 42 a of the conductive brush 42 movesin the same manner.

As described above, when the conductive brush 42 moves in this manner,the reaction force by the second deformable part 70 acts on theconductive brush 42. The reaction force tends to stop the movement ofthe conductive brush 42 in a direction away from the second surface 60 aside of the second wall part 60. The second deformable part 70 absorbs amoving force of the conductive brush 42.

Conversely, when the first surface 42 b of the conductive brush 42 movesin a direction opposite to the arrow m3 from the position of the dottedline to the position indicated by the solid line shown in FIG. 7B,naturally, the second surface 42 a of the conductive brush 42 moves inthe same manner.

As described above, when the conductive brush 42 moves in this manner,the reaction force by the second deformable part 70 acts on theconductive brush 42. The reaction force tends to stop the movement ofthe conductive brush 42. The second deformable part 70 absorbs a movingforce of the conductive brush 42.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, both the first deformable part 72and the second deformable part 70 cooperate to suppress the movement ofthe conductive brush 42.

Therefore, it is possible to perform higher suppression of vibration ofthe conductive brush 42 and greatly reduce noise.

On the other hand, in the first deformable part 72, as in the seconddeformable parts 70 and 71, in order to increase the shape change ratioVC, it is desirable to reduce the volume of the first deformable part 72determined at a state before driving the motor 10.

As it is seen from FIG. 7B, like the second deformable part 70, thefirst deformable part 72 is provided to be in contact with both thefirst surface 42 b of the conductive brush 42 and the first surface 62 aof the first wall part 62. Therefore, the volume of the first deformablepart 72 is adjusted by the distance between the first surface 42 b ofthe conductive brush 42 and the first surface 62 a of the first wallpart 62.

In the first deformable part 72, as in the second deformable part 70,the length and the like of the conductive brush 42 employed variesdepending on the size of the motor 10. Accordingly, the distance betweenthe first surface 42 b of the conductive brush 42 and the first surface62 a of the first wall part 62 to provide the first deformable part 72with an appropriate volume is preferably determined based on the lengthof the conductive brush 42.

Here, the length from the root (see position F1 shown in FIGS. 7A and7B) of the conductive brush 42 on the terminal part 44 side to positionF11 (see FIG. 7A) where the conductive brush 42 is in contact with thecommutator 33 is 1.0. Then, at least in a range where the firstdeformable part 72 is provided, a distance (hereinafter also referred toas second distance) between the first surface 42 b of the conductivebrush 42 and the first surface 62 a of the first wall part 62 isdesirably set to be less than or equal to 0.5 and more desirably set toless than or equal to 0.3.

The first wall part 62 is provided in the bracket main body 40 a suchthat the second distance between the first surface 42 b of theconductive brush 42 and the first surface 62 a of the first wall part 62is a predetermined distance.

Like the first distance, the second distance is obtained as follows.With the conductive brush 42 not in contact with the commutator 33 andthe conductive brush 42 extending substantially straight, perpendicularsare drawn from points on the first surface 62 a of the first wall part62 to the conductive brush 42. Then, distances between the first surface42 b of the conductive brush 42 and the first surface 62 a of the firstwall part 62 are calculated. The second distance is the longest distanceamong the calculated distances.

On the other hand, if the second distance is short, the first deformablepart 72 sometimes cannot be sufficiently deformed. Therefore, the seconddistance is desirably set to greater than or equal to 0.1 and moredesirably set to greater than or equal to 0.2.

Note that, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7B, the firstdeformable part 72 is provided up to a position in contact with thefirst end part 44 b of the terminal part 44. However, the firstdeformable part 72 does not always need to be in contact with the firstend part 44 b of the terminal part 44.

However, with the first deformable part 72 being in contact with thefirst end part 44 b of the terminal part 44, an effect of preventingvibration from being transmitted to the terminal part 44 can beobtained. Therefore, the first deformable part 72 is preferably incontact with the first end part 44 b of the terminal part 44.

For example, taking into account a space where the first deformable part72 is provided, the first deformable part 72 may be provided within arange of L/3 or a range of L/4 including position M1.

(First Deformable Part 73)

As shown in FIG. 5 , the bracket 40 includes a first wall part 63provided at the bracket main body 40 a. The first wall part 63 has afirst surface 63 a extending along a first surface 43 b located at aside opposite the second surface 43 a of the conductive brush 43 andtoward the commutator 33 side (the center side of the bracket 40).

Note that the first surface 63 a of the first wall part 63 is formed tobe a surface parallel to the first surface 43 b of the conductive brush43 in a state in which the conductive brush 43 is not in contact withthe commutator 33.

However, the first surface 63 a of the first wall part 63 is not limitedto a surface parallel to the first surface 43 b of the conductive brush43.

That is, the first surface 63 a of the first wall part 63 may extendalong the first surface 43 b located at a side opposite the secondsurface 43 a of the conductive brush 43 toward the commutator 33 side(the center side of the bracket 40) such that the first surface 63 a ofthe first wall part 63 is inclined with respect to the first surface 43b of the conductive brush 43.

As shown in FIG. 5 , the motor 10 includes, between the first surface 43b of the conductive brush 43 and the first surface 63 a of the firstwall part 63, the first deformable part 73 provided to be always incontact with (always adhere to) both of the surfaces (the first surface43 b and the first surface 63 a).

Note that, as has been described for the second deformable part 70,“always in contact (always adhere)” herein does not mean that a contact(adhering) state is kept until the motor 10 becomes unusable. “Always incontact (always adhered)” means that the first deformable part 73 isalways in contact with (always adhered to) both of the surfaces as longas an unusual situation does not occur during continuous use of themotor 10. Such an unusual situation may be occurrence of peeling betweenthe first deformable part 73 and the first surface 43 b or occurrence ofpeeling between the first deformable part 73 and the first surface 63 a“Always in contact (always adhered)” should not be understood to meanthat the first deformable part 73 permanently continues to be in contactwith (adhere to) both of the surfaces.

Like the first deformable part 72, the first deformable part 73 isformed of a gel. From the viewpoint of suppressing vibration, a gelhaving a hardness of greater than or equal to 30 and less than or equalto 70 in a type 00 hardness compliant with ASTM D 2240 can be suitablyused.

Note that, in the first deformable part 73, as in the first deformablepart 72, a type of the gel may be a two-part hardening type, anultraviolet curing type, a thermosetting type, and the like and is notparticularly limited.

Like the first deformable part 72, the first deformable part 73 may beformed of grease instead of a gel. In this case, from the viewpoint ofsuppressing vibration, it is suitable to use grease having a consistencyof greater than or equal to 60 and less than or equal to 165 in grade 5or a higher grade.

The first deformable part 73 is a part acting on the conductive brush 43in the same manner as the first deformable part 72 acting on theconductive brush 42. Therefore, while the motor 10 is driven, the firstdeformable part 73 is in the same state as the state described for thefirst deformable part 72.

Therefore, although a detailed explanation is omitted, as shown in FIG.7A, the first deformable part 73 is also provided at least at a centerpart including the center (see position M2) of the conductive brush 43between the root of the conductive brush 43 on the terminal part 45 sideand the part of the conductive brush 43 in contact with the commutator33 (between position F2 and position F21).

Here, the length between the root of the conductive brush 43 and thepart of the conductive brush 43 in contact with the commutator 33(between position F2 and position F21) is represented as L. Then, thefirst deformable part 73 is in contact with at least a range of greaterthan or equal to L/4 of the first surface 43 b of the conductive brush43 including the position of the center (position M2) between the rootof the conductive brush 43 and the part of the conductive brush 43 incontact with the commutator 33. The first deformable part 73 is moredesirably in contact with at least a range of greater than or equal toL/3 of the first surface 43 b.

Note that it is possible to effectively suppress vibration of theconductive brush 43 by at least providing, like the first deformablepart 72, the first deformable part 73 in the range including position M2where acceleration due to vibration is greater.

The distance between the first surface 43 b of the conductive brush 43and the first surface 63 a of the first wall part 63 is desirably set asin the first deformable part 72.

Here, the length from the root (see position F2 shown in FIG. 7A) of theconductive brush 43 on the terminal part 45 side to position F21 (seeFIG. 7A) where the conductive brush 43 is in contact with the commutator33 is 1.0. Then, at least in the range where the first deformable part73 is provided, a distance (hereinafter also referred to as seconddistance) between the first surface 43 b of the conductive brush 43 andthe first surface 63 a of the first wall part 63 is preferably set to beless than or equal to 0.5 and more desirably set to less than or equalto 0.3.

The first wall part 63 is provided in the bracket main body 40 a suchthat the second distance between the first surface 43 b of theconductive brush 43 and the first surface 63 a of the first wall part 63is a predetermined distance.

The second distance is obtained as follows. With the conductive brush 43not in contact with the commutator 33 and the conductive brush 43extending substantially straight, perpendiculars are drawn from pointson the first surface 63 a of the first wall part 63 to the conductivebrush 43. Then, distances between the first surface 43 b of theconductive brush 43 and the first surface 63 a of the first wall part 63are calculated. Like the second distance described for the firstdeformable part 72, the second distance is the longest distance amongthe calculated distances.

On the other hand, if the second distance is short, the first deformablepart 73 sometimes cannot be sufficiently deformed. Therefore, the seconddistance is desirably greater than or equal to 0.1 and more desirablygreater than or equal to 0.2.

Note that, in the present embodiment, the first deformable part 73 isprovided up to a position where the first deformable part 73 is incontact with the first end part 45 b of the terminal part 45. However,the first deformable part 73 does not always need to be in contact withthe first end part 45 b of the terminal part 45.

However, with the first deformable part 73 being in contact with thefirst end part 45 b of the terminal part 45, an effect of preventingvibration from being transmitted to the terminal part 45 can beobtained. Therefore, the first deformable part 73 is preferably incontact with the first end part 45 b of the terminal part 45.

For example, taking into account a space where the first deformable part73 is provided, the first deformable part 73 may be provided within arange of L/3 or a range of L/4 including position M2.

A relationship between the first deformable part 73 and the seconddeformable part 71 with respect to the conductive brush 43 is the sameas the relationship between the first deformable part 72 and the seconddeformable part 70 with respect to the conductive brush 42.

Therefore, as described for the first deformable part 72, both the firstdeformable part 73 and the second deformable part 71 cooperate tosuppress movement of the conductive brush 43.

Therefore, vibration of the conductive brush 43 can be greatlysuppressed, and noise can be greatly reduced.

Incidentally, as described above, the motor 10 including theconfiguration described above can greatly reduce noise. Further, withthe first deformable part 72 and the second deformable part 70, it ispossible to suppress an occurrence of a phenomenon in which theconductive brush 42 instantly separates from the commutator 33 due to aninfluence of vibration or the like.

Accordingly, a spark is suppressed from occurring between the commutator33 and the conductive brush 42. It is possible to greatly reduce wear ofthe conductive brush 42.

Similarly, with the first deformable part 73 and the second deformablepart 71, it is possible to suppress an occurrence of a phenomenon inwhich the conductive brush 43 instantly separates from the commutator 33due to an influence of vibration or the like. A spark is suppressed fromoccurring between the commutator 33 and the conductive brush 43. It ispossible to greatly reduce wear of the conductive brush 43.

Therefore, the life of the conductive brush 42 and the conductive brush43 is extended. The life of the motor 10 can also be greatly extended.

Second Embodiment

A second embodiment of the present disclosure is described withreference to FIG. 8 .

In the second embodiment, a basic configuration is the same as the basicconfiguration in the first embodiment. The second embodiment isdifferent from the first embodiment only in the configuration of thebracket 40.

Therefore, the bracket 40 in the second embodiment is mainly describedbelow. Explanation is sometimes omitted concerning similarities to thefirst embodiment.

In the bracket 40 in the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8 , thebracket main body 40 a and the bearing plate 40 b in the firstembodiment are integrally formed.

In the first embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5 , the first wallparts 62 and 63 and the second wall parts 60 and 61 are separatelyformed.

On the other hand, in the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8 , oneconcave part 85 is formed in the bracket 40 having large thickness. Thefirst surfaces 62 a and 63 a, the second surfaces 60 a and 61 a, and thelike are integrally configured by the inner surface (hereinafterreferred to as inner wall surface) of the concave part 85.

In this case, parts of the concave part 85 configuring the firstsurfaces 62 a and 63 a and the second surfaces 60 a and 61 a are thefirst wall parts 62 and 63 and the second wall parts 60 and 61 in thefirst embodiment.

Note that, in the second embodiment, the first surface 62 a configuredby a part of the inner wall surface of the concave part 85 of thebracket 40 is formed as an inclined surface. The distance to theinclined surface from the first surface 42 b of the conductive brush 42increases toward the commutator 33 side (the center side of the bracket40), with respect to the first surface 42 b of the conductive brush 42.

For the first surface 62 a formed as the inclined surface in thismanner, i.e., the distance to the inclined surface from the firstsurface 42 b of the conductive brush 42 increases, it is also possibleto draw perpendiculars from the first surface 62 a to the first surface42 b of the conductive brush 42. The distance between the first surface42 b of the conductive brush 42 and the first surface 62 a is desirablydetermined as the second distance described in the first embodiment.

Similarly, the first surface 63 a configured by a part of the inner wallsurface of the concave part 85 of the bracket 40 is formed as aninclined surface. The distance to the inclined surface from the firstsurface 43 b of the conductive brush 43 increases toward the commutator33 side (the center side of the bracket 40), with respect to the firstsurface 43 b of the conductive brush 43.

In the first surface 63 a, as in the first surface 62 a, the distancebetween the first surface 43 b of the conductive brush 43 and the firstsurface 63 a is desirably set to the second distance described in thefirst embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 8 , as in the first embodiment, the first deformablepart 72 always in contact with (always adhered to) the first surface 62a formed with the inner wall surface of the concave part 85 and thefirst surface 42 b of the conductive brush 42 is provided between thefirst surface 62 a formed with the inner wall surface of the concavepart 85 and the first surface 42 b of the conductive brush 42.

As in the first embodiment, the first deformable part 73 always incontact with (always adhered to) the first surface 63 a formed with theinner wall surface of the concave part 85 and the first surface 43 b ofthe conductive brush 43 is provided between the first surface 63 aformed with the inner wall surface of the concave part 85 and the firstsurface 43 b of the conductive brush 43.

Further, the second deformable part 70 always in contact with (alwaysadhered to) the second surface 60 a configured by the inner wall surfaceof the concave part 85 and the second surface 42 a of the conductivebrush 42 is provided between the second surface 60 a configured by theinner wall surface of the concave part 85 and the second surface 42 a ofthe conductive brush 42.

In addition, the second deformable part 71 always in contact with(always adhered to) the second surface 61 a configured by the inner wallsurface of the concave part 85 and the second surface 43 a of theconductive brush 43 is provided between the second surface 61 aconfigured by the inner wall surface of the concave part 85 and thesecond surface 43 a of the conductive brush 43.

With such a configuration, as in the first embodiment, vibration of theconductive brush 42 and the conductive brush 43 is greatly suppressed,and noise can be greatly suppressed.

Note that “always in contact (always adhered)” in the second embodimentshould be understood as the same meaning as the meaning described in thefirst embodiment.

That is, “always in contact (always adhered)” means that the seconddeformable part 71 is always in contact with (always adhered to) thesecond surfaces as long as an unusual situation such as occurrence ofpeeling does not occur during usage of the motor 10. In other words, itshould not be understood that “always in contact (always adhered)” meansthat the second deformable part 71 permanently continues to be incontact with (adhere to) the second surfaces.

Third Embodiment

A third embodiment of the present disclosure is described with referenceto FIG. 9 .

In the third embodiment, a basic configuration is the same as the basicconfiguration in the first embodiment. The third embodiment is differentfrom the first embodiment only in the configurations of the first wallparts 62 and 63 and the second wall parts 60 and 61 of the bracket 40.

Therefore, in the following explanation, the first wall parts 62 and 63and the second wall parts 60 and 61 of the bracket 40 in the thirdembodiment are mainly described. Explanation is sometimes omittedconcerning similarities to the first embodiment.

FIG. 9 is a plan view of the bracket 40 in the third embodiment viewedfrom the frame 20 side.

Note that, in FIG. 9 , the sheet metals 33 a of the commutator 33provided in the armature 30 are also shown.

As shown in FIG. 9 , in the first wall part 62 in the third embodiment,a part of the first surface 62 a corresponding to the center partincluding the center (see position M1) of the first surface 42 b of theconductive brush 42 is located at a position closer to the first surface42 b of the conductive brush 42 than other parts.

Similarly, in the second wall part 60 in the third embodiment, a part ofthe second surface 60 a corresponding to the center part including thecenter (see position M1) of the second surface 42 a of the conductivebrush 42 is located at a position closer to the second surface 42 a ofthe conductive brush 42 than the other parts.

Consequently, it is possible to reduce the volume of the firstdeformable part 72 and the second deformable part 70 at positionscorresponding to the center part while keeping the space on the sidewhere the one end part 44 ba of the terminal part 44 is housed large.

Accordingly, it is possible to improve workability of, for example,attachment work of the terminal part 44 while improving an effect by achange in the shape of the first deformable part 72 and the seconddeformable part 70.

Similarly, in the first wall part 63 in the third embodiment, a part ofthe first surface 63 a corresponding to the center part including thecenter (see position M2) of the first surface 43 b of the conductivebrush 43 is located at a position closer to the first surface 43 b ofthe conductive brush 43 than other parts.

In the second wall part 61 in the third embodiment, a part of the secondsurface 61 a corresponding to the center part including the center (seeposition M2) of the second surface 43 a of the conductive brush 43 islocated at a position closer to the second surface 43 a of theconductive brush 43 than the other parts.

Therefore, it is possible to reduce the volume of the first deformablepart 73 and the second deformable part 71 at positions corresponding tothe center part while keeping the space on the side where the one endpart 45 ba of the terminal part 45 is housed large.

Accordingly, it is possible to improve workability of, for example,attachment work of the terminal part 45 while improving an effect by achange in the shape of the first deformable part 73 and the seconddeformable part 71.

Note that only the parts of the first surface 62 a of the first wallpart 62 and the first surface 63 a of the first wall part 63corresponding to the center parts of the conductive brush 42 and theconductive brush 43 may be formed to be close to the conductive brush 42and the conductive brush 43.

Conversely, only the parts of the second surface 60 a of the second wallpart 60 and the second surface 61 a of the second wall part 61corresponding to the center parts of the conductive brush 42 and theconductive brush 43 may be formed to be close to the conductive brush 42and the conductive brush 43.

Fourth Embodiment

A fourth embodiment of the present disclosure is described withreference to FIG. 10 .

In the fourth embodiment, a basic configuration is the same as the basicconfiguration in the first embodiment. The fourth embodiment isdifferent from the first embodiment only in the configurations of thefirst deformable parts 72 and 73 and the second deformable parts 70 and71.

Therefore, in the following description, the first deformable parts 72and 73 and the second deformable parts 70 and 71 in the fourthembodiment are mainly described. Description is sometimes omittedconcerning similarities to the first embodiment.

FIG. 10 is a plan view of the bracket 40 in the fourth embodiment viewedfrom the frame 20 side.

Note that, in FIG. 10 , the sheet metals 33 a of the commutator 33provided in the armature 30 are also shown.

As shown in FIG. 10 , the first deformable part 72 in the fourthembodiment includes a second resin part 72 b formed of a single type ofresin in addition to a part 72 a formed of a gel.

Specifically, the second resin part is formed of a single type of rubberselected from types of rubber having a rubber hardness compliant withJIS K6253 (shore A hardness) of greater than or equal to 25 and lessthan or equal to 60.

By configuring the first deformable part 72 to include not only a gelbut also a resin in this manner, it is possible to realize the firstdeformable part 72 that can obtain an overall vibration damping effectcorresponding to a resonance characteristic of the conductive brush 42,a perfect circular shape of the commutator 33, and the like.

Like the first deformable part 72, the second deformable part 70 in thefourth embodiment includes a first resin part 70 b formed of a resin inaddition to a part 70 a formed of a gel.

However, the first resin part 70 b includes a resin part 70 ba formed ofa single type of resin and a resin part 70 bb formed of a resindifferent from the resin part 70 ba.

That is, the first resin part 70 b is formed of a different plurality oftypes of resins (in this example, two different types of resins).

The resin part 70 ba and the resin part 70 bb are also formed of rubberselected from types of rubber having a rubber hardness compliant withJIS K6253 (shore A hardness) of greater than or equal to 25 and lessthan or equal to 60.

When the plurality of different types of resins are used as in the firstresin part 70 b, it is easier to obtain the overall vibration dampingeffect corresponding to a resonance characteristic of the conductivebrush 42, a perfect circular shape of the commutator 33, and the likedescribed concerning the first deformable part 72.

Note that, in the present embodiment, the second resin part 72 b formedof the single type of resin is provided in the first deformable part 72and the first resin part 70 b formed of the plurality of different typesof resins is provided in the second deformable part 70. However, thisrelationship may be opposite.

That is, a first resin part formed of a different plurality of types ofresin may be provided in the first deformable part 72 and a second resinpart formed of a single type of resin may be provided in the seconddeformable part 70.

On the other hand, like the first deformable part 72, the firstdeformable part 73 includes a second resin part 73 b formed of a singletype of resin in addition to a part 73 a formed of a gel.

Like the second deformable part 70, the second deformable part 71includes, in addition to a part 71 a formed of a gel, a first resin part71 b including a resin part 71 ba formed of a single type of resin and aresin part 71 bb formed of resin different from the resin part 71 ba.

Note that the second resin part 73 b, the resin part 71 ba, and theresin part 71 bb are also formed of rubber selected from types of rubberhaving a rubber hardness compliant with JIS K6253 (shore A hardness) ofgreater than or equal to 25 and less than or equal to 60.

Therefore, on the conductive brush 43 side, as described concerning theconductive brush 42 side, it is possible to obtain a comprehensivedamping effect of vibration corresponding to a resonance characteristicof the conductive brush 43, a perfect circular shape of the commutator33, and the like.

Note that, in the present embodiment, the second resin part 73 b formedof the single type of resin is provided in the first deformable part 73and the first resin part 71 b formed of the plurality of different typesof resins is provided in the second deformable part 71. However, a firstresin part formed of a plurality of different types of resins may beprovided in the first deformable part 73 and a second resin part formedof a single type of resin may be provided in the second deformable part71.

As described in the first embodiment, the parts 70 a, 71 a, 72 a, and 73a formed of the gel may be formed of grease instead of the gel.

A variant 1 of the second embodiment of the present disclosure isdescribed with reference to FIG. 11 .

Note that, in FIG. 11 , the position of the sheet metals 33 a of thecommutator 33 is schematically indicated by a circle of a dash-dot lineshown on the center side.

In the variant 1, a basic configuration is the same as the basicconfiguration in the second embodiment. However, the variant 1 isdifferent from the second embodiment in the shape of the concave part 85of the bracket 40.

Specifically, both the first surface 62 a of the first wall part 62 andthe second surface 60 a of the second wall part 60 configured by partsof the inner wall surface of the concave part 85 of the bracket 40 areformed as inclined surfaces. The distances to the inclined surfaces fromthe first surface 42 b and the second surface 42 a of the conductivebrush 42 increase toward the commutator 33 side (the center side of thebracket 40), with respect to the conductive brush 42.

Both the first surface 63 a of the first wall part 63 and the secondsurface 61 a of the second wall part 61 configured by parts of the innerwall surface of the concave part 85 of the bracket 40 are formed asinclined surfaces. The distances to the inclined surfaces from the firstsurface 43 b and the second surface 43 a of the conductive brush 43increase toward the commutator 33 side (the center side of the bracket40), with respect to the conductive brush 43.

Therefore, the widths of the first deformable part 72, the firstdeformable part 73, the second deformable part 70, and the seconddeformable part 71 increase at positions closer to the commutator 33side.

On the other hand, the commutator 33 sides of the second surface 60 a ofthe second wall part 60 and the second surface 61 a of the second wallpart 61 are connected by a third surface 64 a drawing an arc having aradius of curvature greater than an arc in the second embodiment shownin FIG. 8 .

A fourth surface 64 b connected to the commutator 33 side of the firstsurface 62 a of the first wall part 62 is provided.

The fourth surface 64 b is provided to extend in an extending directionof a part other than the one end part 44 ba of the first end part 44 bof the terminal part 44.

Similarly, a fourth surface 64 c connected to the commutator 33 side ofthe first surface 63 a of the first wall part 63 is provided.

The fourth surface 64 c is provided to extend in an extending directionof a part other than the one end part 45 ba of the first end part 45 bof the terminal part 45.

An end part located on the opposite side of the first surface 62 a sideof the fourth surface 64 b and an end part located on the opposite sideof the first surface 63 a side of the fourth surface 64 c are connectedby a fifth surface 64 d including an arcuate part at the center.

Note that the fifth surface 64 d is formed along a direction orthogonalto the fourth surface 64 b and the fourth surface 64 c.

The concave part 85 including the third surface 64 a, the fourth surface64 b, the fourth surface 64 c, and the fifth surface 64 d may have aspace of the concave part broader than the concave part 85 in the secondembodiment shown in FIG. 8 .

Note that, in the variant 1, as described in the first embodiment, thefirst deformable part 72 and the second deformable part 70 are desirablyprovided at least at the center part including the center (see positionM1) of the conductive brush 42 between the root of the conductive brush42 and the part of the conductive brush 42 in contact with thecommutator 33 (between position F1 and position F11).

As described in the first embodiment, the first deformable part 73 andthe second deformable part 71 are desirably provided at least at thecenter part including the center (see position M2) of the conductivebrush 43 between the root of the conductive brush 43 and the part of theconductive brush 43 in contact with the commutator 33 (between positionF2 and position F21).

A variant 2 of the second embodiment of the present disclosure isdescribed with reference to FIG. 12 .

Note that, in FIG. 12 , the position of the sheet metals 33 a of thecommutator 33 is schematically indicated by a circle of a dash-dot lineshown on the center side.

The variant 2 is different from the variant 1 in that the first surface62 a of the first wall part 62 and the second surface 60 a of the secondwall part 60 are surfaces extending along the conductive brush 42 andsubstantially parallel to a direction in which the conductive brush 42extends.

The variant 2 is also different from the variant 1 in that the firstsurface 63 a of the first wall part 63 and the second surface 61 a ofthe second wall part 61 are surfaces extending along the conductivebrush 43 and substantially parallel to a direction in which theconductive brush 43 extends.

The third surface 64 a and the second surface 60 a are connected by asixth surface 64 aa extending in an extending direction of a part otherthan the one end part 44 ba of the first end part 44 b of the terminalpart 44. The third surface 64 a and the second surface 61 a areconnected by a sixth surface 64 ab extending in an extending directionof a part other than the one end part 45 ba of the first end part 45 bof the terminal part 45.

Note that, in the variant 2, as described in the first embodiment, thefirst deformable part 72 and the second deformable part 70 are desirablyprovided at least at the center part including the center (see positionM1) of the conductive brush 42 between the root of the conductive brush42 and the part of the conductive brush 42 in contact with thecommutator 33 (between position F1 and position F11).

As described in the first embodiment, the first deformable part 73 andthe second deformable part 71 are desirably provided at least at thecenter part including the center (see position M2) of the conductivebrush 43 between the root of the conductive brush 43 and the part of theconductive brush 43 in contact with the commutator 33 (between positionF2 and position F21).

As it is seen from the second embodiment and the variant 1 and thevariant 2 of the second embodiment, the shape of the concave part 85 isnot particularly limited as long as the first deformable part 72, thefirst deformable part 73, the second deformable part 70, and the seconddeformable part 71 are appropriately formed.

A variant 3 of the second embodiment of the present disclosure isdescribed with reference to FIG. 13 .

Note that, in FIG. 13 , the position of the sheet metals 33 a of thecommutator 33 is schematically indicated by a circle of a dash-dot lineshown on the center side.

The variant 3 is different from the variant 2 in that the seconddeformable part 70 is in contact with the terminal part 44 up to the oneend part 44 ba of the first end part 44 b of the terminal part 44.

The variant 3 is also different from the variant 2 in that the firstdeformable part 72 is in contact with the terminal part 44 up to a partother than the one end part 44 ba of the first end part 44 b of theterminal part 44.

Since the second deformable part 70 and the first deformable part 72 areprovided to be in contact with the terminal part 44 in this manner, itis possible to sufficiently suppress braking of the conductive brush 42and suppress vibration of the terminal part 44.

Similarly, the variant 3 is different from the variant 2 in that thesecond deformable part 71 is in contact with the terminal part 45 up tothe one end part 45 ba of the first end part 45 b of the terminal part45.

The variant 3 is also different from the variant 2 in that the firstdeformable part 73 is in contact with the terminal part 45 up to a partother than the one end part 45 ba of the first end part 45 b of theterminal part 45.

Since the second deformable part 71 and the first deformable part 73 areprovided to be in contact with the terminal part 45 in this manner, itis possible to sufficiently suppress braking of the conductive brush 43and suppress vibration of the terminal part 45.

The present disclosure is described above on the basis of theembodiments. However, the present disclosure is not limited to theembodiments. It goes without saying that various changes in a range notdeparting from the spirit of the present disclosure are possible.
